tell your daughters how you love your body
tell them how they must love theirs
tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves
from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh on their thighs
whether there is a little of them or not
whether freckles cover their face or not
whether their curves are plentiful or slim
whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short
tell them how they inherited
their ancestor's souls in their smiles
that they carry countries
that breathed life into history
that the swing of their hips
does not determine their destiny
tell them to never listen when bodies are critiqued
tell them every woman's body is beautiful
because every woman's soul is unique
